Take 10 minutes every week just for sewing. PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR. (not
yelling--emphasizing) That is 'mental health time'.
You don't have to sew--just run your hands thru fabric-fondle the project
you want to be working on.etc, and totally concentrate on the item. It will
help you immensely. That is what I did until I was able to start 'doing'
again.

We're all feeling slightly discombobulated from the time change last
night. But I've been productive: this year's friendship quilt is
assembled and layered ready for basting. Most of my contributors got
the blocks the right size -a miracle! Only had to re-do one of them,
and a couple needed some extra strips to bring out their best.
Also started assembling some feathered star blocks that have been
lying around for a looong time.
Roberta in D, no sports!

Howdy!
Y'all already changed time, Roberta?
We have another week to go, then we get that hour returned to us;
I'm so glad when we get back to "normal" time; don't need one more
hour of summer! ;-D
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Halloween quilts are on display,
time to break out the candy corn! (yeah, like that waited... )

Yes, we are now back on sun time. I like it much better than so-called
Daylight saving time! With no alarm, I tend to wake up when the sun
comes up, and now it feels more normal. But it'S hard to readjust
schedules twice a year, wish we could just stick with this!
